Chapter 13

I wasn’t sure if I should call Lucas after what Emmett said about the phone lines not being safe, and I didn’t know if he was even at his apartment or still with Nicholas at the cabin. I really wanted his advice before I waylaid Henry and talked to him about the shape shifter spell, but there was no time to waste!

After Emmett dropped me off, I texted Henry to see if he wanted to come hang out at my house. I was tempted to say that I needed to tell him something, but Emmett’s paranoia was rubbing off on me.

Sounds good. Or do you want to come here instead? My parents are at work, Henry texted back.

I’ll walk over now, I replied. That was even better. My house was so much smaller than Henry’s and my parents and even Kayla were home. It would be difficult to talk in private.

During the walk to Henry’s house, I rehearsed what I was going to say to him, how I would convince him that this was the right thing to do.

But I couldn’t help feeling a tiny twinge of guilt. What if I didn’t push him in this direction and Henry never decided to practice magic? Did I really have the right to lead someone’s future down a certain path? Henry was Ivy League bound; he’d probably study law, just like his parents, and become a successful attorney within the next ten years. If that’s what he truly wanted, who was I to ruin it?

By the time I got to his house, I decided all I would do is feel him out on the subject. If Henry was dead-set against it, I’d just have to tell Emmett that we needed a plan B.

“Hey, Henry,” I said, walking through the garage and into the kitchen. Henry was sitting at the kitchen island, drinking a huge glass of some murky looking liquid.

“What’s that?” I asked, pointing.

“Protein shake,” he replied, taking the last gulp and getting up to place his glass in the sink. “It’s supposed to help with muscle recovery after training. I played basketball for three hours this morning.”

“Wow,” I said.

“Yeah, I’m trying to pull out all the stops. I really want to make the team,” Henry said.

“You’ve got no idea how good you are!” I exclaimed. “They’ll probably make you team captain.”

Henry grinned. “Thanks for the vote of confidence. So what did you want to do this afternoon?” he asked. “Did you finish your back to school shopping? We could go to mall if you need to, or just hang here and watch a movie or something.”

“Let’s just chat and then decide,” I replied.

“Yeah, I want to know more about what happened last night! When I saw you leaving Bunny’s party I thought you were ditching me for vamp boy.” Henry’s cheerful expression had darkened.

“Nothing like that. Come on, let’s go sit down.” Avoiding looking him in the eye, I walked past Henry and headed into the family room, then flopped down on one of the long couches.
